Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is Samsung’s most powerful and advanced Galaxy Watch ever. It is built for extreme outdoor adventures and high-performance seekers who demand long-lasting performance, reliable durability, precision tracking and continuous health monitoring in extreme conditions. 

Galaxy Watch Ultra2’s dedicated tracking modes for outdoor sports help users excel and safely push their limits. The Trail Run feature tracks detailed elevation, climbing progress and terrain impact so users can better pace themselves and reduce injury risk.

The moment the user enters the water, it can automatically track real-time diving data such as depth, time and water temperature right from their wrist. Moreover, users can access advanced diving features, including ascent/descent speed tracking and safe dive limits, by using the exclusive Ultra2 Diving app expected to be available later this year. Developed with Mares,the world’s leading diving equipment brand, these features significantly enhance the watch’s diving capabilities.

Despite a significantly larger battery, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 achieves an innovative slimmer design that transitions seamlessly from rugged outdoor and sports activities to everyday lifestyle use. Advanced internal re-engineering significantly reduces the device’s thickness by 12% compared to the previous generation. Coupled with lighter and softer bands that reduce weight, Galaxy Watch Ultra2 delivers 24/7 wearability, highly precise biometric data tracking and exceptional comfort.

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u...
